Ink friendly church in Northern Ireland


Hi guys,

Just thought I would tell you about the church I go to. Its Causeway Coast Vineyard - based out of Portstewart but meeting in Coleraine. I work in a tattoo parlour in Coleraine and the guy who is partner in it is a christian also. We are both tattooed and Ricky is also heavily pierced. The tattooist is also a christian but goes to a different church. Both Ricky and I are totally made to feel at home in the church and in fact are both members and work in the audio team. A good percentage of the church too has been to the shop for a tattoo or piercing - it is totally acceptable behaviour in our church cause we are seen as people bot numbers. It is the heart God looks at and so does our church. The place we work is also a chill out cafe called 3 Strands Cafe (from ecclesiastes 3 i think - a cord of 3 strands is not easily broken) It is called 3 Strands cause both Ricky and i have came from addictive backgrounds and have been thru/ are going thru a program of recovery in which we are totally supported again by the church and in fact have been told we are the backbone cause we just plug in!! I ain't boasting trust me - it is God's work in us that has got us this far and we still have along way to go. but for guys like us - alot of the churches in this area would frown totally on us and not welcome us simply cause of the way we look and our pasts - to be accepted is an awesome showing of God's love thru his children if they simply let Him work
